Amanda Hurst breastfeeds her five-month-old son William at the same time as allowing her son Jonathan, six, to suckle too.
When Jonathan was three, Amanda told him he was too old to breastfeed. But she found it hard to turn her son away, and his interest was only reignited when his little brother came along.
‘I know some people think it’s strange,’ says Amanda, 29. ‘But I think it’s perfectly natural. He’s doing it less and less and it’s only a morning thing. I’m feeding William, Daddy’s gone to work and it’s cold, so I don’t want to get out of bed.
‘I’ve only tandem fed them five or six times as it’s difficult. Jonathan has to lie alongside me and prop himself up.’
